was performed a few days later.
The operation was not considered
serious, and Mrs. Harper was
reported as getting along -o well
after it that it was thought she

marriage there survives one son,
Alexander Harper. She is also
survived by one brother, Mr.
Henry Sheppard. of Greenville,

After the death of her second
husband Mrs. Harper moved to
Greenville and made her
